    Somebody is a very talented cake decorator, and boy does it look good. Especially followed up with pink lemonade. Happy happy summer day!

    Aww, was it your nieces birthday? It looked like a very "girlie" party and one that I would enjoy immensely! The strawberry lemonade looks fantastic, and is that raspberry in the cake? Yum!

    Hi there, Wishing I could just come and hang out with your crowd! Loved all the details on the cake-the birds, the daisies, the sprinkles and if only I could enjoy it but alas I'm here in Colorado but can't have gluten anyway.
    Have a wonderful evening.

    What a great party and a great theme! The cake looks like my kind of cake. Seeing it made me think of visiting cousins in SLO two years ago and buying cakes at some fabulous cake place that was, apparently, an institution there. They were delicious!..........and very pricey!

    You have the most delicious foods on your post.
    Can I ask what those birds are made of? Are they edible?
    It was a perfect theme to match the gift.
